05:30 Ethelred the Unready's coronation was plagued with terrible omens, such as him urinating in the font, which is a common occurrence in coronation stories, and this idea that the fate of the king is joined to the fate of the country is still very strong in the late Tudor and early Stuart period.

41:29 Charles II's coronation is marked by Peeps missing most of the ceremonies, watching others eat at the banquet, and ending the day with drunkenness and vomiting.
